No, one does not have to concern with the Coriolis Effect when playing tennis or golf because the factor by which the Earth rotates during the time the ball goes from its source to the destination, is very small and can be neglected. Therefore the player can take his/her shot as if the destination of the ball would be at the same position as it was at the time the shot was taken.
